Abstract
A load handling shuttle adapted to move forward and backward along an X-axis and a Y-axis on a track is disclosed. The shuttle comprises a shuttle body, a load handling device (LHD) having a first LHD arm and a second LHD arm extendable back and forth in the Y-axis direction. The LHD comprising a first LHD motor and a second LHD motor configured to propel the first LHD arm and the second LHD arm in the Y-axis direction. Further, the LHD comprises a first LHD motor encoder and a second LHD motor encoder configured to determine one or more feedback parameters of the first LHD motor and the second LHD motor, respectively. Further, at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to determine linear acceleration of the LHD in the Y-axis direction. Further, at least one processor predicts a current state of the LHD.
